Default Hammerite Kurust, any good?

Got a little spot on my rear arch just starting, its only got to the stage where the paint surface has started to turn brown, so hopefully this stuff will keep it at bay. Has anyone else used it? what were the results?

Have a look at this link and I would recommend the Deox Gel, it is really good and used properly works very well. It dissolves the rust without harming the surrounding paint or metal, when removed you'll be left with shiny metal that can be touched up !

It has been around for a while and I recently used it on a badly rusted motorbike petrol tank with good results, but it is not a miracle cure . The preparation is important making sure you get rid of all the surface rust and leaving it to dry properly after putting it on.
Cheers Richard.
